Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter has a number of animals that are looking for their forever home.
The shelter, which was established in 1896, helps animals that are unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned - as well as reuniting lost animals with their owners and finding loving new homes for those who are no longer wanted.
Here are 17 cute animals who are in need of a home - you can find out more at: https://www.dogandcatshelter.com/.
Take a look and see if you can open your heart and home to a new four-legged friend!
9. Arwen (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Arwen is a lovely little lady who absolutely adores spending time with her humans and can be quite demanding for attention! She is full of beans and so will need an active family who can keep up with her and take her on lots of lovely adventures, keeping her both mentally and physically stimulated. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
10. Pearl
Pearl is a lovely lady who is sadly finding the shelter environment quite overwhelming. She spends a lot of her time hiding away however, she is making great progress with her confidence and will now enjoy strokes from staff after she’s had a little while to warm up. She does still remain easily spooked, however, and can still ask for her space at times when feeling worried. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
11. Ramona (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Ramona is a super friendly and confident girl, who loves her humans! She is very much a typical Staffie – she thrives off human company and can often get over-excited and forget her manners and jump up repeatedly. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Joker (Lurcher)
Joker is a very confident and friendly lad who really enjoys being around people and getting attention from people. His other favourite things are food and chasing a flirt pole! Joker walked into the shelter without a worry in the world, but does find being in a kennel a little stressful, he is always super grateful when he is brought out for his walks. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
